The day of the sports festival, the sights were nothing short of stunning.

I'm surprised to see so many people paid to see my dumb ass perform at the sports festival.

You start to ponder on whether your negativity is a problem.

I don't know. Oh well, just enjoy the sights.

The field was nothing short of massive. The grandstands filled to capacity, easily 400'000.

Wouldn't be surprised, this is more popular than the Olympics.

Kaneko comes to the stage to give his speech.

Kaneko: Four words. Give it your all.

You're satisfied with his words of encouragement and his fierce tone of delivery. Sure it was simple, but it hit you harder than he was going to in the finals.

Oh, what am I talking about?

One of the staff, a pure and holy-looking woman, with vines for hair, hit the spinner.

It lands on simulated rescue.

A huge concrete tower shakes the earth as it comes from the ground. A few other quite plain looking concrete buildings also come with it.

Vine hair: Your obj-, eh. I'm not really one for the stage. Chargebolt, could you do the honours?

Chargebolt: All good, Ibara. Right, so, there's some dummies in there. Your objective is to rescue them. You'll also be assaulted by robots. There are thirty dummies, basically secure one, and you get immediate entry into the next round.

So the vine hair is Ibara. Wait. Shiozaki? The girl that destroyed Chargebolt way back? How did she not go pro?

(The sports festival was basically your religion just like how an Aussie will know football games that were live before they were born)

You decide to ask before heading to the starter zone.

Y/N: Hey, Shiozaki, am I right?

Ibara: Yes?

Y/N: So, how did you not go pro when the guy you defeated did?

Ibara: To put it simply, I went pro for a year and I realised that the people I was with had no similarities of motive. I was not willing to be a part of such a corrupt and horrendous community. I hope I can teach the students that they should not fight for money.

Y/N: You don't have to drill that into me.

Ibara: Good.

You start to run towards the area, to the start line, anticipating the buzzer, gun, whatever was about to go off.

Bang!

You leap off the starting point, using your quirk to fly. At that moment, you are engulfed in multicoloured, pixelated squares.

As you get your bearings, you realised that you're now inside the building.

You turn to your side and see the damaged angel herself standing next to you.

Y/N: Thanks.

You rub her head for no more than a second, leaving to find a dummy to save, to secure your spot.

You find one without difficulty. You fly out, being the second after Hoshiko.

Robots attempt a futile attack, their claws doing nothing to your floating body. You hold the dummy in one hand, blasting a few robots before 'rescuing' the dummy.
